Hull City hired Ian Dowie aka Sloth as its new manager on Tuesday night as they try to avoid relegation in the EPL.Dowie signed a short-term deal for the remaining nine games of the season and one can only hope he brings some of his Goonies magic.
He was a hot coaching commodity after successful stints with Oldham and Crystal Palace, but then his star started to fade as he failed in Charlton, QPR and Coventry.
Most recently, Dowie was Alan Shearer's right-hand man at Newcastle and that clearly didn't go too well as Newcastle was relegated while he was there.
Dowie's appointment has not been met with universal approval by the fans but he said: "My message is it's about us winning games. I believe I know the training ground, I believe I can get players playing attractive and open football. This needs to be a real cauldron. We'll be working every hour God sends.''
